Rollingstone and Stockton anchor this 1972 study of the driftless region, where steep valleys and winding creek beds define the local geography. The landscape is characterized by the complex drainage patterns of Rollingstone Creek, Garvin Brook, and Peterson Creek as they cut through the upland ridges of Mount Vernon and Hillsdale. Large portions of the terrain are protected within the Minnesota Memorial Hardwood State Forest, preserving the wooded bluffs that rise sharply above the river valleys. Evidence of the region’s transport and social history appears in the Chicago and North Western rail lines and the presence of the Immanuel Sch. To the northeast, the map reaches the Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge, showing the transitional wetlands of Duck Slough near Minnesota City.
